I just heard the sad news that, in my view, one of the countries best ever political interviewers has died.
I used to greatly enjoy his style and tenacity. I used to look forward to watching Weekend World the show he hosted.

I'm Joe.
That programme also brought us Nantucket Sleigh Ride.
Yes, Brian Walden was one of the first of a new breed of political interviewers who were persistent and challenging in his approach. He wasn't alone, but he was one of the first.
I disagree that modern interviewers let the interviewee get away with too much; if anything, some of them have their own political views which clearly colours their approach.
RIP Brian

I don't want the interviewers to air their own opinions, I just like seeing the interviewees squirm.
